SKINNY COWBOY TURKEY CHILI

This is the best white chili variation, and it is healthier than most. This won first prize at our company chili cook-off. The other contestants were mad when they learned how easy the recipe is and that I had prepared it an hour before the competition. I make a double batch and fill a gallon-sized zip-top bag and freeze for great leftovers.

TURKEY COWBOY CHILI

Turkey Cowboy Chili image

My sister in law gave me this recipe and I tweaked it a little to my tastes. It is a quick and easy chili that can be ready in one hour - start to finish. You can use ground beef if you'd like. I just dislike the flavor of it, so use extra lean ground turkey instead. I will also note that this is a completely dairy free recipe if that is an issue for you :) Enjoy and let me know if you like it ! *****I like to load up all my recipes with veggies. This is NOT necessary if you're not a veggie fan!

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 lb extra lean ground turkey
1 large white onions or 1 large sweet onion, chopped
8 slices bacon, cut into bite size segments
1 (8 ounce) can corn
2 (8 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, I use basil and oregano canned (or fresh if you like)
4 -5 potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite sized chunks
2 (8 ounce) cans kidney beans
3 stalks celery, finely chopped (optional)
3 zucchini, sliced (optional)
1 green bell pepper (I dislike bell peppers and have never tried it this way) (optional)
garlic
oregano
basil
salt
pepper
chili powder
onion powder

Steps:

Fry the bacon pieces in the large pot you will be using for the chili. Once it is to your liking, add onion and turkey (and garlic if using fresh) and cook until turkey is browned. Season turkey to taste while it is cooking.
Now add everything else, including the rest of your seasonings. Simmer, covered, on medium heat for about 45 minutes (or until potatoes are soft), stirring about every ten.
Done! Quick, easy, and you get your meats and veggies all in one tasty meal! This recipe goes great with the frozen "crusty french" rolls that pillsbury doughboy sells.

Tips:

Use a variety of beans. This will give your chili a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and chickpeas.
Don't skimp on the spices. Chili is a dish that is meant to be flavorful, so don't be afraid to add plenty of spices. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your chili the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes, onions, and peppers. You can also use frozen or canned ingredients if necessary.
Cook the chili low and slow. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen. Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
Serve the chili with your favorite toppings. Some good options include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Turkey Cowboy Chili is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold night. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, this chili is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give Turkey Cowboy Chili a try. You won't be disappointed!
